The right layering prevents chilling after sweat, improves mobility, and adapts to changing conditions.
1. Base layer
Choose moisture-wicking synthetics or merino. Avoid cotton in active use.
2. Mid layer
Fleece or lightweight insulation for warmth while staying breathable.
3. Shell
Wind/rain protection with a mobile cut; prioritize comfort in movement.
Tip
A modular setup you can add/remove quickly is the most practical “tactical” solution.
